Dist:0.3km<br/>The early Christian saint lived in the caves and woods at this location: the well was once a focus of pilgrimage for healing, with a chapel dedicated to the saint. There is now a Russian orthodox mission close by.

Dist:0.6km<br/>Plas Geler stands on an ancient Christian site associated with Saint Celer, a C7th monk who lived in the woods and caves of this valleyside. In past ages pilgrims came to worship at a holy well close to a chapel here. The Cistercian Way runs close by, see http://cistercian-way.newport.ac.uk/apath.asp?RouteID=route06b

Dist:0.8km<br/>Eastern portal of the 168yd, single track Allt-y-Cefn (Llangeler) tunnel on the former GW line between Pentrecourt and Llandyssul, taken in 1980. Apologies for the poor picture quality - blame the Welsh weather!

Dist:0.8km<br/>A mock-up of an old school at the Museum of Childhood. The desks came from the original school nearby at Cenarth. On the desks in the foreground are slates and a ink-can for filling the ink wells, behind them a cane and a wooden device for forcing children to sit up straight, to the right a Welsh-not, a piece of wood that would be passed on, from child to child, to anyone who failed to speak in English.

Dist:0.8km<br/>The old farmyard and buildings at the Museum of Childhood toy museum have been fully utilized for the displays. The farmhouse itself was built in the late C18 but these buildings are even older. That on the left was the Ty Hir, or longhouse, that would have housed the family at one end and the cattle at the other, the building on the right included the stable, hayloft, barn and carthouse all under one peg-beamed roof.
